In your original example, the problem that you are seeing is you are not
conditionally updating your default dict only when it doesn't have an entry
(at least not how I read it). So each time you run the code, it will just
update the dict with the current value before changing to another shader.
The logic needs to include something like this:
some_persistent_dict = {}
...
entry = 'node_name'if not entry in some_persistent_dict:
# We have never recorded the original shader.
some_persistent_dict[entry] = get_original_shader(entry)# Standard behavior
assign_new_shader(entry)
Any of your options (global dict, optionVar, file, node attributes, ...)
will require a step like this to see if the original shader needs to be
recorded. If you don't do this, you will always trample your previous value
with the current one.
Hope this helps
